The prereleases came out a while ago on labs.adobe.com, but now the official versions of Lightroom 3.5 and Camera Raw 6.5 are out. If you have Lightroom and/or Photoshop set to automatically check for updates, they will prompt you next time you open Lightroom 3 or Photoshop CS5. Otherwise, in your software go to Help>Check for Updates. These include new camera support, new lens profiles, and bug fixes.
If you have Lightroom 2 or earlier, and/or Photoshop CS4 or earlier and are looking for support for the new cameras listed, you should instead read this post on converting to DNG.

Lightroom 3.5 Bugs – Fixed
Using the arrow keys to modify image adjustment settings lacked responsiveness
A Publish Collection targeting a hard drive on Windows would not behave properly if the designated folder was deleted from hard drive
After editing the capture time in Lightroom, “Date Time Digitized” was incorrectly changed. (Only “Date Time Original” should be modified)
On Windows computers, Lightroom would interpret the wrong time zone per the following customer report: http://feedback.photoshop.com/photoshop_family/topics/xmp_metadatadate_has_wrong_time_zone
Changing Lightroom’s date created field to a date prior to 1933 resulted in unexpected values
Lightroom 3.2 introduced preview cache inefficiencies
GPS Altitude metadata was incorrectly excluded from files converted to DNG or exported as DNG files from Lightroom 3.4.1
For non-English language operating systems, folder names in the import dialog may not have been translating properly
When exporting images with the “Write Keywords as Lightroom Hierarchy” enabled, keywords with “Include on Export” deselected would still have been included on export
Saving metadata to a JPEG file in Lightroom 3.4 could have caused Lightroom to quit unexpectedly
A Publish Collection in Lightroom 3.4 set to publish original files would fail to include XMP files for proprietary raw formats.
RECONYX images did not open properly in Lightroom 3.4
When applying automatic lens profile correction, Lightroom 3.4 did not automatically recognize the following lens: “Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 24mm f/1.4G ED”
Using the plus or minus key to increment Develop Module parameters did not work properly on the Mac
The Limit File Size export option was incorrectly including EXIF metadata on export when the Minimize Embedded Metadata option was selected
On Mac OS X 10.7, the Lightroom import dialog did not properly display network volumes
On Windows computers, using Shift + Scroll wheel to adjust the Adjustment Brush feather size, the expected result of the scroll wheel movement was reversed per the following feedback post
Lightroom would not provide the correct error message when attempting to delete photos published to Facebook
Lightroom would experience tether capture failures on computers utilizing OS X 10.6.8 and 10.7
Develop load time performance was inconsistent
Camera Raw 6.5 Release Notes
These items have been FIXED in Camera Raw 6.5:
Camera Raw did not allow write-back capability for the EXIF GPS properties.
The DNG File format did not support XMP Media Management.
A JPEG file with a specific characteristic was found to have a pink cast.
The undo command (Command+z) was failing to undo crop adjustments.
Single images marked for deletion were not moved to the trash.
A magenta color cast could have appeared on Nikon D7000 or Pentax K-5 images if the multi-exposure feature was used with raw capture.
Applying Sigma 10-20mm Lens Profile to Nikon D7000 raw files could have produced dark or black corners
Some EXIF fields of Panasonic raw files appeared to be blank in Bridge Metadata panel
Applying the exposure adjustment brush to a high ISO image could have caused excessive noise reduction correction to the entire image
Known Issues
Customers on the Mac platform utilizing OS X 10.7 will no longer have tethered support in Lightroom 3 for the following Canon cameras:
EOS 5D
EOS 350D (Rebel XT/EOS Kiss Digital N)
EOS 20D
If we haven’t loaded Lightroom 3 at this point but have loaded the updates, will we need to reload the updates again once we load LR onto our computer? I’ve been so busy with work and home issues that I’ve not had the LR3 opportunity. (I’m hoping it will be this coming weekend as I just received your DVD this week…)
As you can guess, I’m a newbie, but I’m anxious to get going..! I wanted to view the first fiew chapters of your DVD before I actually loaded the program as I might have to do somefile organizing before loading my library of photos.
Go ahead and download and run the Lightroom 3 software installation, Andrea, and then double-click on and run the 3.5 update. You can still hold off on importing photos into LR until you watch the first 5 videos. Thanks for your purchase — let me know how you like it!
